Thats a quarter cent. Called a 'farthing' derived from 'fourthling'. Nice score!
 

Ohhh ok thanks!!!!!
 

Pretty good looking farthing, most of mine are blank
 

Very nice detail on that one, a keeper for sure.
 

Great find! Congrats!
 

Awesome find!
 

Now that my friend is an awesome find. Congrats.:hello:

:tongue3:Don't ask about patina, lol. Some get their panties in a twist if you don't answer correctly. Congrats on a great find. Btw, I like a lil old patina too. It's like grey in our hair. That coin has earned it.
 

Old dude...very funny. ..thanks
